yes
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A Guinea Pig Maximisation study result which pre-dates the OECD guideline for the LLNA is available and the study is considered to be of sufficient reliability to satisfy the data requirement. On this basis it is considered that a supplementary LLNA would not be appropriate.

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
Prior to the induction phase, a group of four animals was used to determine the concentration of the test substance which produced faint to moderate irritation via intradermal injection. Each guinea pig received six intradermal injections (0.1 m1 each); three concentrations (1, 3, and 5%) of the test substance in distilled water and the same three concentrations in an emulsion of Complete Freund's Adjuvant.

Prior to the topical induction, a group of four animals was used to determine the irritation potential of the test substance to be used during the topical induction. The test substance was mixed with distilled water to yield w/w concentrations of 70%1 and 53% (75% of the dry paste concentration).

A group of four animals was used to determine the highest non-irritating concentration. The test substance was mixed with distilled water to yield w/w concentrations of 70%, 53%, 35% and 18%.

Based on these findings, the concentrations which produced very faint to faint irritation (0.5-1) for the intradermal induction were the 3% and 5% w/w mixtures in distilled water. However, due to the difficulty of injection at these concentrations a 1% w/w mixture was used. That which produced very
faint to faint irritation (0.5-1) selected for the topical induction was a 70% w/w mixture in distilled water with a pretreatment of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). The HNIC selected for the challenge phase was a 70% w/w mixture in distilled water.

Additional information:

In a Guinea pig maximisation test according to OECD 406 and OPPTS 270.2600 test guidelines, a group of twenty experimental animals (guinea pigs) were treated with test substance concentrations of 1% intradermally, 70% epidermally, and 70% at challenge. 50% Complete Freund's Adjuvant in distilled water was used as vehicle. None of the animals showed a positive response at both 24 and 48 hours after challenge, indicating no sensitisation. Therefore, Terracess TF was considered not to be a skin sensitiser.

Not sensitising (OECD 406/OPPT 270.2600 Guinea Pig Maximisation Test

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:

One valid and available study

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the Guinea pig maximisation test, Terracess TF does not have to be classified for skin sensitisation according to CLP Regulation EC (No.) 1272/2008.
